Snowshoeing!

Some friends of ours rented a Forest Service cabin in the mountains and invited us up there to spend the day. So we took them up on it! It was a lovely, sunny day, but cold. Something like 6 degrees when we got there, and 2 when we left.

On the way, we saw this bull moose. He stopped and looked at us when I called out, "Hey, Bullwinkle!"

Here is Heidi, Josie, Emma and Bella. Heidi had Emma help pull her and Josie up the hill. Bella hung around amusing herself with angering Emma. A 1 1/2 year old Emma and a 10 year old Bella, both dominant females...did they ever snarl and growl at each other!

Here we are, Annisia, Michael, Quinn, Audra, and Ray, at the top of the hill. Not a mountain, but a fair hill. Jonathan was a trooper! He stomped his way right up that hill. He thought snowshoeing was fun. On the way down, he tried running, which can be done, yes, but a little difficult for a young'un. He kept falling down, face first! He'd lay there and laugh. (which I enjoyed!) One time, he fell right into a patch of powder, and got a face full of snow! He just giggled! I'm glad he had a good first experience on snowshoes. The video below is taken just after Daddy cinched him in and I got the camera out. See, he's a natural!
